About This Home

Experience stunning, unobstructed views of the Gulf from this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located directly on the beach in highly sought-after Lido Key. Just a short walk to world-famous St. Armands Circle, you'll enjoy easy access to upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment—all while living steps from the sand and surf. This fully furnished, move-in-ready residence offers 1,275 sq ft of light-filled living space, with breathtaking water views from every room. Neutral tile flooring flows throughout, creating a clean, coastal feel. Step out onto your private 240 sq ft balcony to soak in nightly sunsets and the soothing sound of waves—there’s plenty of room for dining or lounging in style. Inside, enjoy the convenience of electric shades, ample closet space, and a separate storage locker located right in front of your assigned parking space. Hurricane shutters provide added peace of mind, and yes—your small pet (up to 25 lbs) is welcome too! The building has undergone significant renovations including updates to the lobby, community spaces, kitchen, library, gym, bathrooms, plumbing re-lining, and resurfaced heated pool. On-site maintenance management adds another layer of ease to your beachside lifestyle—and best of all, the building is fully funded. Live just minutes from Lido Beach's Tiki Bar and Pavilion, or explore the nearby nature preserve with kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. Downtown Sarasota—with its vibrant arts scene, fine dining, and cultural venues—is just a short drive away via the Ringling Bridge. This is more than a condo—it’s your gateway to the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Schedule your showing today and own a front-row seat to the Gulf of Mexico.
